Disadvantages:
- using the programme involves certain material and financial resources
(purchasing the right to use, translate, adapt, print); - requires adequate and detailed training of counsellors and instructing clients
in the use of the technique for the exact knowledge of what is expected of
them in certain stages of the programme; - there is a risk that less motivated or timid clients withdraw as the programme
progresses; - counsellors may feel inefficient and/or excluded from sessions they do not
take part in.
